Dang.. I just got 2 of these delivered yesterday directly from Samsung after stacking deals / coupon codes and thought i did great getting them for $166 each. The reviews are sparse (no rtings either), but I rolled the dice and so far I am very happy with them... especially for the price.
FYI: The 27" version (this one) is IPS, the 32" is VA... Seems this is the standard across the board for Samsung monitors.
I am using both monitors with 2 Windows computers (my personal Desktop, and my Dell work laptop with a Pluggable USBC docking station that supports dual 4k @ 60hz) via a Display Port KVM. None of the Dell docking stations support dual 4k @ 60 hz, so my work sent me this one: https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-T...B0BQJWKBMF .. I actually use 3 KVMS in my setup (one for keyboard, one for each monitor https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DBYKR8HQ/) so I can have any combination of monitors and computers (instead of just either / or) .. the KVMs are hidden and controlled by the remote switches included
If you are a serious gamer, 60Hz is probably not for you.. Casual gamer like me, it is fine. HDR video looks great too. No dead pixels, just plug and play right out of the box. The color calibration between the 2 are spot on equal with each other. Also, I stick with Display port end to end as the bandwidth etc is better than HDMI.
Samsung also makes a USBC version of this monitor if you absolutely have to have it.
I avoid LG in this price range as they are reportedly unreliable, and Dell does not really have a solid HDR offering in this price range either. So this one ticked all the boxes for me.
Can anyone tell me what the USB-C version is and where I would find a good deal? We sell NUCs, and I'd like to make a demonstration video showing how to use the USB-C/Thunderbolt version for two monitors.
